You know my interest in Bayeux, Yves, but though I stared at your beautiful photograph of the cathedral willing a little gleam of memory to illuminate it, nothing came. However, I know we would have gone over every inch of it during our schoolgirl visit.
I do like that painting - lucky that you came across it for it's surely an unusual subject. I delight in that vigorous style. A quick Google came up with http://www.invaluable.com/features/v...Ref=9nrqoude1u which showed a few more of this artist, and scrolling down the page there are more paintings in the same lively style. The blue car appears in another site somewhere, too!
Still on artists, when I Wiki'd the cathedral in an attempt to see something I recognised, (failed again......) one photograph showed a drawing of a sculpture on a house wall on the north side of the cathedral. I was surprised to see that the artist was John Sell Cotman, one of the Norwich School which existed at the turn of the 18th/19th centuries. I like his watercolours a great deal, they have a most distinctive style, and look what I have just found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Etretat_Normandy.jpg

Resisting the urge to make #174/4 into a caption competition, I must say I love the colour of those nets in #174/2
...and that Martello-Tower-like fort with extra turret - or is the actual fort the bit further in the sea in #175/2? Anyway, that last photo of Barfleur is so fresh and clear I can smell the sea, and am now fancying some fish for lunch!

Are you trying to post a second video, Yves? I shouldn't worry about whether or not it appears in the last activity column, that soon rolls off the pages anyway. That video in #178 is a delightful compilation.
